Steampunk Films?
Anyone recommend any good steampunk films, I like the genre, but can't really think of many films that really jump out...

Re: Steampunk Films?
Have you seen Steamboy? It's by Katsuhiro Otomo, same dude who did Akira 
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Steampunk Films?
There does seem to be a dearth of films in the genre... I'm not really into animie.

Re: Steampunk Films?
Have you seen "City of Ember"?
Not the greatest movie in the world, but I enjoyed it on the plane to Thailand.

Re: Steampunk Films?
Skycaptain and the World of Tomorrow was steampunkish, not particularly good though.
At least I'm housebroken.

Re: Steampunk Films?
I love Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth. I've yet to watch Cronos (which I hear is also a bit steampunk-esque).
I love watching Stardust, I've watched it loads of times, unusual for a 'family' film.
... and The City of Lost Children.

I don't know if it is really steampunk, but you might like The Life Aquatic
It's a fun movie and I love this scene
